I Extoll the Virtues Water-Based Satin Polyurethane
5 Stars
I Extoll the Virtues Water-Based Satin Polyurethane
I have this old but beautiful wood endtable whose tabletop had gotten a little faded and dull looking over the years. I effortlessly revived it using nothing but a circular sander, some coarse grit sanding disk and one fine grit sanding disk, a fluffy towel (to brush off the sand), boiled linseed oil (to restore the attractive amber hue to the freshly sanded wood, and, yes, this magnificent SATIN-sheen water-based polyurethane. Why water-based? Because it's easy to work with, to clean up, and doesn't add any unneeded extra yellowing (why, let the boiled linseed oil do that!). Why the small container? Because the 8-fl-ounce size is perfect, from past experience if you let too much polyurethane remain in the trough where the circular lid top contacts you might accidentally permanently seal the remaining polyurethane in an 8-ounce-can tomb, so get two, one for your job and one for the next job in case the lid dries on. And why satin? Only SATIN beautifully matches the existing sheen of most finished wood (high gloss and semi-gloss impart a conspicuous shiny glass like coating that calls attention to the job and any imperfections in the wood, while flat is too cloudy and makes the wood look lifeless and dirty. Satin, satin, satin! A lovely product.

The last picture is the before, the first picture and video are after.

It really brought out the color of the staff, and sealed it smooth to the touch and very shiny. It dried fast, and a little went a long way in terms of how much I used. Overall good quality and seems pretty hardy.
Never used a product like this before, and it was great for what I wanted. I gave my grandpa the rest and he likes it as well.

This clear coat works very well, it has no harsh smell. So I felt safe using it in my home. I put it on three coats sanded in between each coat at least four hours apart. And I have a great shiny finish.
